Our attention has been called to the fact that the county bridge at Navajo, will soon be carried down the Puerco, unless the banks on either side of the bridge, receive some attention at an ear ly day We would call the attention of our Wagon Road Commissioners to this matter, as this bridge is very important to the travelling public, being almost in- dispensable. We presume it would cost but very little to have the embankment so protected by stone or timber, as to prevent their being washed away by tLe currents, and leaving an important as we'll as an expensive bridge worthless. We hope the Commissioners will give their attention to this matter at an early day.

many of these books soon set the literary
world agog Ru,kin jumped into the
breach with a whitening dlatribe and Swim
lurne gave to the world a composition in
stern and compact English on the same
subject.
Since then the discussion has gone
around the world. A list of the 100
